The only way to use Access databases on a Mac is through Windows 
somehow.  Either you are going to use an emulator such as Virtual PC or 
you are going to us a PC control device such as Microsoft Remote 
Desktop.

I assume you have a Windows Machine at work.  Did you know it is 
possible that you could control it from you Mac?  This would also 
alleviate the need to buy licenses for personal use.
